Beautiful symetry in this one. Would be nice to see a large version.

Hi Jeroen, like the 'intimate' feel and HA on this one. Wonder if you have any in portrait format?

Going bigger would mean we can all appreciate it more, plus the blacks won't be so dark and more detail will be visible too. :wink:

taken this afternoon during a 1:1 i hosted and when i played some soft music they started dancing straight away... - Did you breakout the travelling rug, candles and 'magic' cake too? It's a different world you guys work in Holland for Avian photography :biggrin:

Hi Steve,

No portrait i am affraid as the action was only there for a split second (and i had to get used to using my 300mm with converters again.. :rolleyes: :mad: ). Did burn some candle light and threw some flower petals at them.. :wink: :jump:

As for the bigger format i prefer not to post it as i have had many issues with images being stolen that way and used for other purposes without my consent (such as on the cover of "lover's magazine".. :wink: :biggrin: :jump: )

greetings,

Jeroen Stel
